Capture of Innsbruck

The Capture of Innsbruck (late November 1796) was a siege of the French Revolutionary Wars that occurred when the French Armee d'Italie under Napoleon Bonaparte captured the Austrian city of Innsbruck, Tyrol without a shot being fired. Bonaparte's 647 French troops managed to secure the peaceful surrender of Emil Jung's 840 Austrian troops, allowing for two Austrian regiments to peacefully leave the city. These regiments would be decimated by winter attrition as the snow set in on the Alps, and the French camped in the warm city, preparing to push on Klagenfurt in the following months.
